Start now

When it comes to making a change, it’s important just to make a start. Now is always the best time. What could you do today to start moving in the direction of a healthier way of eating?

Start small

Small changes can add up to a big difference: it may be something as simple as having one less sugar in your tea or swapping your afternoon biscuit for a piece of fruit.

Give it time

You won’t see changes overnight. It may take time for some benefits like weight loss to start showing, but you should soon notice a change in your mood, clearer skin, increased energy and better sleep.

Achievable goals

Change isn’t a singular event it’s a journey and you have to work at it every day. Small changes will build up each week or month and turn into new habits that you are happy with, seem manageable and you will be more likely to stick to them also. 

TASK: Use the worksheet below to set yourself 3-5 goals that you could work towards achieving that relate to healthy eating on a budget.
